Tommy! My first oreck xl came in. Thank you for the encouragement I will be buying the course later. And the oreck is all I can afford at the moment but as I grow my equipment will change.

How’s it going 10 months later

[@SpiritTracker7]

I know a lot new comers to carpet cleaning who have purchased equipment, whether a truck mount or portable, and couldn’t get hardly any business because their city was oversaturated with carpet cleaners… the thing about homeowners is that once they find a cleaner they like, they always use them indefinitely and your city has been comb through 1000X times over by the other larger cleaners who have plenty of marketing dollars to spend. For 99% of those starting they may want to start out having another income until they build up enough work. Be ready to hustle hard to get it off the ground.

[@greenrhinoproject]

Not really, less quality companies then you think. It’s about targeting your audience when advertising. Then keeping them. Building your business for success not just buying equipment and expecting the phone to start ringing. You have to have a game plan. That’s what I teach.

[@SpiritTracker7]

@@greenrhinoproject As with any business, it's going to boil down to a saturated market. A lot of these new carpet cleaners can't wait 6 months only to get 13 carpet cleaning appointments. Learning to clean carpet and putting together the financing to buy it all is the easiest part of it. Getting customers and building a clientele is a whole other level of difficulty. I am not saying that it can't be done... I am saying that it can be extremely SLOW for the first few years. Understanding your demographics is business 101. If you have a city population of 400k, and there 317 existing carpet cleaners in your area then you better believe that it's going to be a dog fight. Mark my words, learning to carpet clean, understanding the best chems and applications, and purchasing everything is the easiest part. From there one better know how to market themselves effectively and be willing to have a slow start.. unless of course they are trying to beat everyone with ridiculously low prices and working to break even.

[@greenrhinoproject]

@@SpiritTracker7 I respectfully disagree I am proof of this. Good luck in your business

[@geministeemers7824]

@@SpiritTracker7 BOOM💥 FACTS! You nailed it Vim. I agree...you can have all the latest equipment in the world, but if your not marketing your company effectively, you will not succeed in the floor cleaning industry...period. It definitely comes down to demographics and your SEO plan because you better have one in our industry. I started my company 3 years ago and everything you said is right on target! If you live in a large city, there's no way you can compete when 99% of your competitors have truck mounts. That's like a bicycle trying to race a motorcycle.

[@SpiritTracker7]

@@geministeemers7824 I have a solid SEO background, as that is part of my skill set. Carpet cleaning is more of a side hustle for me, and I do way more hardwood floor care. But I have been ranking for carpet cleaning in a 5 mile radius (wasn't even trying) and I still only get a call once or so a week. I don't place much emphasis on trunk mount, portable, or VLM, because the customer only cares about clean carpets but since there are hundreds of competitors, they are also able to price shop. For carpet cleaning, in my demographic area, even online marketing isn't enough. You have to mix in some traditional marketing as well, and make connections with people. I would venture to guess that a good chunk of the population already have their favorite carpet cleaners in their contacts. Once they find a carpet cleaner who makes them happy, and the price is right, they keep using them over. As I pointed out above, one needs to bring their A game on on every front... SEO, Ads, traditional marketing, connections, flyers, events, etc. Carpet cleaning has become a dog eat dog industry in many areas... and the number one mistake I see is new people investing a lot of money and jump in blindly, and then are unable to even book a weeks worth of work in the first 6 months.

Sheesh, what a great video. I love the start up package advice. I think I'll go with the first one. Including the PSI made a difference because I didn't know exactly what I should be researching with the portables.

[@SaL-ep7zb]

Great information Tommy! For us the new guys I know many of us would appreciate if you can make a video on how operate a portable extractor from step 1 connecting everything to operating it. They look very confusing and seeing a video on how to use one and what not to do would be awsome! Thanks for another great video! :)

[@TheFearofTheWiseMan]

I want to go with the VLM package but my question is how do you clean the stairs with a rotary device that big? Lol. I’m guessing you have to buy another device that doesn’t come with the package.

[@PNWTraveler]

The best start up is with a portable. You can buy those starting at $100. Thats all you need to get started and after the first year if you are having a steady flow of customers invest or upgrade the portable. If you have a steady flow for a few years then i’d invest in a truck mount but really all you need is a portable even something like a rug doctor will work.

[@greenrhinoproject]

@@PNWTraveler Appositely not. Horrible advice.

[@PNWTraveler]

@@greenrhinoproject Okay let’s talk about it. How is it horrible advice? I think telling people to invest thousands of dollars in equipment just for them to only get handful of customers is horrible advice. There is nothing wrong with starting out testing the waters with just a portable and I’ve seen portable extractors going for as low as $100 on fb marketplace. The market is super saturated and people aren’t spending money on services like carpet cleaning like they did previous years. 2024 has affected everyones wallets and every business so I’d actually encourage people who are wanting to start a service business to test the waters first.

[@greenrhinoproject]

Hot water extraction is another word for steam cleaning carpet cleaning rinsing with water over 120 deg. Water extraction is usually removing water from flood damaged etc.

What do you think about renting equipment when getting started can that be feasible/profitable?

[@keithchapman1477]

I never understand after cleaning a lot of carpet why a portable. There is a machine that no one talks about. Wallk behind extractor that goes forward and backwards. Wands plug in so you have the best of all situations. I now have two mid size and small. I find as a rule people are sheep and not creative. Steam cleaning is vary allusive. 50c here in oz up in Queensland you will see no steam. In the uk or poland there will be visible steam. So i feel it is a total play on the mind, clever marketing. Remember the further away and the out side temperature has a mJor effect. Same with vacuum. Bigger the bore and length you will need a very powerful vacuum. Very few look at the technical side. A true steam cleaner would burn the carpet/melt it.

[@brunomarcum1494]

I have a question. What was the first thing you did to start building your business credit? I’ve made a decision on buying another extractor to have as back up. I got a credit lease from Janitorial Direct on another portable. I could’ve bought it out right but it would’ve taken all my money. Did I make the right decision on first step to building my credit? Thanks
